I graduated from Big Red in 70, post occasionally, but usually just read. It appears supporting Big Red usually just draws out the people who hate Steubenville which is why I don't post often. Most of my posts are the scores from he games since I listen over the internet since I live in Vegas now.

Starts out positive, but always turns into a battle of negativity, then thread gets shut down.

Thatís OK, they still have 4 times as many boys as we do and the play in a very competitive WPIAL League. No gimme in this one. They have a lot returning and a big play guy being recruited by all the power 5 conferences. A very good test for the Defending State Champions.

Big Red will be strong as usual. Sure wish they could work something out with Massillon to play again. Certain teams should just be on your schedule. Steubenville is one of those teams. Warren too for that matter.

Egret....I could not agree more. No “negotiations” needed. A simple home and home, nobody pays nobody, home team keeps entire gate, same week every year. It really is a no brainer. I know all the Tiger fans like to think it’s SHS, preventing it, but trust me, both coaches for whatever reason are gun shy to commit to the above scenario. Just because one or both say they would commit, doesnt tell the entire story. I’m pretty sure neither wants a yearly game and the best reason I can guess is they want flexibility. There are very few of us left (independents) with no league affiliation....there is a reason for that.....flexibility in scheduling.

Well then bro you and I should just take over the negotiations and get it done. The exact scenario you just described. Iím in.
